IRONING-IBOARD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 26, 1910.

Application filed October 22, 1909. Serial No. 524,020.

. To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, SAMUEL T. Khan a citizen of the United States, residing at Lebam, in the county of Pacific and State of \Vashin on, have invented certain new and-useful mprovements in Ironing-Boards, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in ironing boards. The object of my invention is to provide an ironing board so constructed that the same may be clamped to the edge of a table by means of a supporting bar pivotally secured to the ironln board, a sleeve board being pivotall carried by the ironing board and serving as a latch to ock the supporting bar to the ironing board while not in use, to form a, neat and compactly held structure.

With these and other objects in view, the

present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts as w1ll 'be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims,

it being understood that changes in the specific structure shown and describedmay,

be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the inven- Y tion.

In the drawin s forming a portion of this specification, an in which like numerals of reference'indicate similar parts in the sev= eral views, Figure 1 shows an elevational view with "parts broken away of an ironing board embodying my invention, Fig. 2 1s a section on the line 2-2 ofFig. 3, Fig.3 in

shows a bottom view of the ironing boar its'folded condition.

' -My invention relates to that classof ironin boards which are arranged to be detachabiy secured to a' suitable su port, such as a table or window sill or the 1 ke by means of, a' pivotally .held supporting standard.

Thej'ironing board, wou d be unwieldy'to handle, and might pinch the fingers of the o erator, if no securing means were rov1ded to hold the supporting standar to the ironing board.

In my invention I provide a pivotally held sleeve board, carrying a 'pin arrange to slide into a socketv of the standard, to

' securely hold the sameto the-ironing,board.

In the drawings, the numeral 5 designates an ironing board having the slot 4 near one end, and provided with the two longitudinally positioned oppositely held cleats 1 6 carrying the supporting bolt 7. Pivotally otally held to the ironing board 5, by means of the bolt 16 carrying the thumb nut 18, is the sleeve board 15 from one edge of whichis projected the pin 13, this pin being arranged for coaction with the slot 12 within the standard. This sleeve board 15 may be held at any desired point by locking the same to the ironing board by means of the thumb nut 18.

In use, the ir'oning'board is clam ed to the pro ec ting edge of a. suitable ta le 10 as shown In Fig. 1. When it is desired to pack or store the ironing board, the operator first folds the standard 8 against the ironing board and then carries the sleeve board inward so that this sleeve board -will fold against one side of the'standard as shown in Fig. 3, in which position the pin 13 carriedby the sleeve board '15.will work into the socket 12 of the standard, thus sesurely holding the'standard against accidental displacement. By means of the thumb nut 18, the sleeve board is then locked against the standard. In this folded c'ondi tion of the-ironing board-the same may be easily handled.

The ironing board is simple and inexpensive -in construction, and both durable andefiicient' in operation, and the adjustment both in securing or releasing the ironing board may be made with ease, accuracy and: despatch.

What is claimed is:

1. The combination with an ironing board, of a supporting standard pivotally secured thereto having a socket, a sleeve board pivoted to said ironing board, and a -'pin carried by. said sleeve board working into said socket.

2. The combination with an d board, of a supporting standard pivotally ,secured thereto having a socket, a sleeve board, means to adjustably secure said sleeve to said ironing board, and a pin carried by said'sleeve board arranged towork into said socket. v

3. In combination, an ironing board, two lengthwise positioned cleats secured to said ironing ironing board,' a bolt carried by said cleats, v,

a supporting standard having/an outstanding-head secured to said clears, and Working through aslot of said lronlngboard; said standard having a slot, 21 second board car-.-

ried by said ironing board; a thumb nut, a

bolt to support said second board, said thumb nut Working upon said bolt, and a pin-earried by said second board for coaction with said-standard slot. 10
